From Cuba, circa 1900

In June of 1993 (nearly 20 years ago now) Christie's in London had a hammer price of $154 on one of these, which was low for their estimated value of $155 to $233, which translates to approximately $248-373 in today's value.

~~~

This would be an exquisite gift: for a vintage hand fan collector, or for a descendant of a Cuban family, or, for a collector who specializes in bull-fighting memorabilia.

This will be shipped in a box to protect it in transit.
